Princetown (10-minute drive) is a great starting point for your Dartmoor adventure thanks to its Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre where you can find interactive displays and fascinating exhibitions. Here you can find quality information about local trails, guided tours, and points of interest. Princetown itself is also home to a pub, café, brewery, distillery and supermarket.

The beautiful town of Tavistock (22-minute drive) is a key part of the West Devon and East Cornwall UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its pannier market. The town includes a wide array of shopping and eating options, from boutique fashions shops to Mediterranean delis.

If your idea of a perfect getaway is a long stroll along the links, have no fear, Yelverton Golf Club (23-minute drive) features a range of quirky and challenging holes, many of which boast beautiful views across the moor.

There are plenty of fantastic walks close at hand. Make your way up to Fur Tor and across to the Lydford Gorge, or check out the stone circles at Sittaford or Fernworthy. Or head southeast toward Bonehill and Haytor rocks. The nearby Haytor Quarry is just a few miles from the quaint town of Bovey Tracey and one of the most famous of all Dartmoor Tors. At the base of this granite outcrop is a hidden lake rich with wildlife.

Keen for a wild swim? Head down to the crystal clear waters of the River Dart. Spitchwick Common (20-minute drive) is a large grassy bank right next to the River Dart which works great as a picnic spot and a beach to dive into one of Britain’s most beautiful rivers.
 
With endless trails, hikes and walks to keep you busy, there’s no shortage of natural wonders to enjoy. But if you feel up to one man-made wonder, why not check out Castle Drogo (30-minute drive), the last castle to be built in England.
